The **ATS-02D-159-C1-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*, specifically part of the **push-pin** attachment series. It is designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.07°C/W (@ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) This specific model comes pre-applied with **ATS-PPS-10**. The TIM is critical in electronics to fill microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the component surface, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. #### B. Aerodynamic Fin Design The straight-fin pattern is optimized for **forced air cooling** (active airflow from fans). The 10mm low-profile height makes it suitable for tight electronic enclosures or rack-mounted systems where vertical space is limited. #### C. Secure Attachment Mechanism Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the "Push-Pin" system provides: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures consistent contact with the electronic chip. * **Vibration Resistance:** Ideal for industrial electronics or automotive applications. * **Reliability:** Brass pins and steel springs are more durable over long-term thermal cycling than thermal tape. --- ### 3.
